another lent leica

my nephew tries out the LEICA m3.









the leica 1c had a broken shutter curtain so my patient dutifully replaced it with her leica m3 plus 4 lenses. all not for sale but for me to use until november. and i dread that day. it will be like parting with joy, the wife, or, at the very least, my favorite concubine.
the lenses include the summaron 2.8/35, elmar 4/135, summicron DR 2/50, and summilux 1.4/50. the body is a single-stroke high number (#1.1M+) M3.

zorki 1 on the way

i have to have it. so for $70 and shipping cost, the gorgeous tool will be in my hands.

a photo tribute to chinoys

photos i took at the bahay tsinoy after the lecture i gave on traditional chinese acupuncture last year. (with special permission from mr. chak chi ang).


a tableau of one of the six massacres during the Spanish period. an estimated 100,000 filipino-chinese were killed in these massacres.
